Photographic Journey in the Parallel World
The photo on the poster is the scenery of the snow-capped mountains I took at the foot of Yulong Snow Mountain in Yunnan.
Friends who have seen the movie Inception must still remember the picture of the whole city subverting to form a parallel world. Although we can't see the existence of two parallel worlds in real life, in photography, we can use the parallel and symmetrical composition of photography to create photographic works similar to parallel spaces.
Strictly speaking, the principle of photographic composition in parallel world is the combination of symmetrical composition and parallel composition. We use the technique of reflection to make the theme content in the picture equal or roughly equal up and down on a certain line or the middle horizontal line of the picture, so that our photographic works have a balanced layout and regular structure, that is, our photographic composition is exquisite and photography is more interesting.
When traveling, or in real life and around us, if we pay a little attention, we will find that many scenes and objects are often equivalent, such as most buildings, sculptures, bridges, landmarks, benches in parks, our doors, windows, steps, and even some utensils and scarves, some of which are symmetrical left and right, and some are symmetrical up and down. From the perspective of its left-right equivalence, it can form a left-right symmetrical picture layout; Taking pictures at equal angles from the center can form a vertically symmetrical picture layout.
Symmetric composition can not be mechanically equivalent, which requires too much symmetry and parallelism. Pursuing only the form but not the content will also lose the fun of photography and become an overly disciplined photo. When you are vivid, you must be vivid, change in equivalence, or capture the state of passers-by, or use light and shadow colors, or show self-interest in details in photos, and try to avoid plain photos without content.
The content is still the main idea of our photography, and the composition technique is only the technique of expressing the theme. Mastering the technique of composition and looking at ordinary things from a new angle is also an ability for us to exercise our ability to capture beauty.
